That's actually pretty common for a major metropolitan area. The first section follows I-5 out of downtown, the second section follows SR-520 outbound, which doesn't carry much traffic around that time yet.

I wouldn't be surprised if SR-520 outbound gets busy during rush hours as well, as Bellevue has developed into a major job center outside downtown Seattle. Microsoft headquarters is located in that area for example.

Do you know what's the problem with youtube? I can't upload anything because of an "unknown error"

A small night tour of Zwolle on the N337 Ring Road, A28 motorway and N35 Ring Road.

Oh no, please
I mean, the entire central area of Veneto (around Vicenza-Padua-Mestre-Treviso-Bassano) is a randomly built sprawl of tiny villages and houses everywhere, in total disorder.

Imagine the entire urban area of L.A. built with a casual scheme of: one house, then some country, then one shopping mall, then one church, then some more country, then one house... and so on.

The ultimate disaggregation of space. Nothing built up enough to say it's urban, and no more empty spaces to say they're countryside.
So it is almost impossible creating a public transport net, since you don't have the advantage of serving many people in a small area. Speed limits all around must be kept low, since there is something built everywhere, and it is also difficult to build new connecting roads, since the space has been used following a "dot" scheme, and not aggregating buildings and leaving free strips of land.

And traffic engineer. Try to widen an existing road within such developments. Or to find a new alignment without having to demolish dozens of homes.

Oh yeah. Have you tried the famous "Passante di Mestre"? You can't find a stretch really "straight". It's all bent around single houses. And exits have been built in the middle of nowhere, since space around the main cities was already "dotted"; so, in fact, all the main flows of traffic have to follow idiotic routes.

I call this method "Spit on it: you won't eat the whole thing, but nobody will be able to get it"...

My newest video, this one is a little different. It is a drive on the Toronto "ring", consisting of Highways 401 and 427, the Gardiner Expressway, and the Don Valley Parkway. It's a complete lap (though, as mentioned in the video's description, nowadays Toronto extends well beyond this ring).
